Application filed June 29, 1887. Serial Nor 242.879. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MICHAEL M. CLARK and PETER ll/IOKERNAN, both of Shenandoah, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Overshoes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of our new and improved overshoe. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same; and Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation taken on the line or x of Fig. 2.

The invention will first be described in con nection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

The bottom A of the shoe is made of sheet metal stamped up in a die to form the flange B and the hollow heel C.

To the flange B is secured by rivets a a the the upper D of leather or other material, and to the upper edge of the heel-flange C is secured the heel-piece or counter E of leather or other material.

The bottom A is corrugated, as shown at a,

and formed with points a to preventslipping, and the bottom of the heel is also formed with points a to prevent slipping. The bottom A may be re-enforced by a separate sole, F, of

sheet metal, and in this are formed points 0 to prevent slipping.

The overshoe maybe fastened on by bucklestraps G, or the upper D may be slilted and eyeleted, as shown at f, to receive lacingstrings for fastening the shoe upon the foot.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As a new and improved article of manufacture, an overshoe composed of the stamped sheet-metal bottom A, formed with the flange B, and the stamped sheetmetal heel O, in combination with the metal top sole, F, leather upper D, and heel or counter E, secured to the flange B and upper edge of the metal heel, substantially as described.
